“Real” hosts “Bayern” in the main derby of Europe, while “Arsenal” visits the “Lions” in Lisbon <\/p>\n

On Tuesday, April 7, football Europe holds its breath in anticipation of the first matches of the Champions League quarter-finals. In Madrid, Andriy Lunin will face the formidable “Bayern,” while in Lisbon, fans await the dramatic return of Arsenal’s top scorer to his former arena.<\/p>\n

\n“Real” – “Bayern”: a classic at “Bernabeu”<\/p>\n

This matchup is referred to as the “European derby,” as the teams have met a record 28 times. The victories are evenly split, with each team having 12 wins, and four matches ending in a draw. The goal difference currently favors the “whites” – 46:45. Moreover, the Madrid team has not lost to “Bayern” in nine consecutive matches.<\/p>\n

Vincent Kompany’s team has shown phenomenal scoring ability in the Champions League this season, netting 32 goals (10 of which were against “Atalanta” in the Round of 16). The Germans boast the best win rate in the tournament (9 out of 10 matches), while “Real” exudes confidence after overcoming “Manchester City.”<\/p>\n

Interestingly, over the years, the teams have faced each other in the Cup and Champions League group stages, Round of 16, quarter-finals, and semi-finals, but have never met in the final at the same time. It seems it is not meant to be this time either.<\/p>\n

For local fans, the participation of Andriy Lunin adds special significance to the rivalry. It is expected that the Ukrainian will be the main goalkeeper for “Real” in both quarter-final matches.<\/p>\n

“Sporting” – “Arsenal”: the D\u00f8keresh factor<\/p>\n

In Lisbon, all eyes will be on Arsenal’s Swedish forward Viktor D\u00f8keresh. The striker returns to the “Jos\u00e9 Alvalade” stadium, where he became a legend of “Sporting” over two years, scoring 97 goals.<\/p>\n

Despite the historical trend of Portuguese clubs losing to English teams in the Champions League quarter-finals (zero wins in 9 duels), the “Lions” remember their success in 2023 when they eliminated the “Gunners” from the Europa League.<\/p>\n

Match schedule for April 7:<\/p>\n
